About The Spiritual Seed the Church of the ‘Valentinians’

This book is a comprehensive study of Valentinianism, the most important Gnostic Christian movement in Antiquity. It is the first attempt to make full use of the Valentinian documents from Nag Hammadi as well as the reports of the Church Fathers. The book discusses the difference between the Eastern and the Western branches of Valentinianism, and argues that individual sources must always be understood in the context of the historical development of Valentinian doctrines.

This volume is also available as paperback. and “
